Quote:Do you think all guns should be illegal to buy or just a certain level of firepower?I think that the way our current system is set up is pretty solid. You could really dumb it down in description with three tiers. The first is banned, largely current military grade. The second is heavily restricted, this is where -actual- assualt rifles and other legacy military equipment live. The third is moderately to minutely restricted, this would be bb guns on up to high capacity mag semi automatic rifles.
Quote:I've noticed people who are against gun ownership tend to also not trust the police either, but then if citizens can't carry guns that just leaves the police you don't trust with guns. Or you could just slowly disarm everybody so it's a bit like England where generally all police are unarmed except for the armed response units and other exceptions.I think police should be heavily armored, not heavily armed.
Quote:But then this might be a problem in America just because of the amount of powerful guns already out there, if the police and law abiding citizens suddenly decided to disarm or use inferior firepower that would leave a lot of the superior firepower in the hands of criminals.Probably not. If we all decided that a .22 pistol was as big a handgun as could be legally owned, a .22 pistol would be the weapon of choice for the enterprising criminal.
Quote:I don't like the idea of guns being legalized in England where I live, but with America's culture I think it might be problematic to suddenly change the legality of guns in a major way. A definite sensible idea I think the vast majority agree with is that gun sales should be more carefully regulated.They're already -supposed- to be carefully regulated.
